Your daydream

A romantic secret garden wedding in summer

You walk through a gate half-hidden by climbing roses, and the path opens onto a lawn where chairs wait in a soft crescent. The evening is so warm that nobody wants to go inside. Silk ribbons move in the breeze, and every table glows with low, forgiving candlelight. When your eyes meet at the end of the aisle, the whole world goes quiet.

How to turn a sketch into your theme

  1. I

    Name the feeling first

    Romantic, whimsical, serene or grand: choose how you want the day to feel before you choose anything you can buy. It's the decision every other one leans on.

  2. II

    Let the place set the palette

    Your venue already has colors: stone, sea, vines, meadow grass. Build on them rather than fighting them, and your palette will look effortless in photographs.

  3. III

    Use the colors in proportion

    Let the softest color cover most of the day (linens, stationery, the dress code), the two middle colors carry the flowers, and save the deepest one for small accents: ribbon, candles, a single bloom.

  4. IV

    Test it in the right light

    Colors shift between noon and candlelight. Look at your swatches at the hour you'll actually be celebrating before you commit.

Theme questions

Choosing a theme, gently

How do I choose a wedding theme?

Start with a feeling rather than a theme: how do you want guests to feel when they arrive? Then let your season and venue suggest the colors and details. If you're still unsure, save images that make you pause for a week and look for the thread, or try the seven wedding aesthetics.

What's the difference between a wedding theme and a wedding aesthetic?

A theme is usually literal (nautical, vintage, rustic). An aesthetic is a mood: the light, palette and texture of the day. Most couples find an aesthetic easier to live with, because it guides decisions without dictating them.

How many colors should a wedding color palette have?

Three to five. Every palette the generator sketches has four: two soft colors from the season, one from the place and one from the feeling, which is enough variety for flowers and stationery without looking busy.

Does a wedding need a theme at all?

No. Plenty of beautiful weddings simply follow their venue and season. A loose palette and a clear feeling are usually all you need to keep a hundred small choices consistent.
